The 19-year-old is a pacy attacking player who comes with plenty of potential.

Earlier last month the club allowed Asoro’s representatives to speak with Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur, and the deal even got to the stage of contract negotiations.

But, that’s where it all ended as some ludicrous demands were made from Asoro’s side of the negotiations which turned Spurs completely off from talking from him.

At Sunderland the young Swede was earning around £12,000 per week - a relatively decent wage (in footballing terms) when considering the level of he plays at and his age and wanted to see a significant increase in his pay packet if he was to move on to play for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

It’s thought that he asked for around £25,000 per week, which immediately turned Spurs off and ended the negotiations there and then.
